UK launches Project VULCAN

The UK is looking to streamline its armour training, through what MoD Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) describes as ‘provision of a suite of comprehensive simulator systems to provide individual — driver, gunner, commander — and crew training for armoured vehicles’.

Known as Project VULCAN, the Ground Manoeuvre Synthetic Trainer will encompass the Warrior 2, Challenger 3 and Boxer armoured vehicles. It will include the provision of ‘capacity and adaptability to facilitate additional current and future vehicles and training technology’, according to a Prior Information Notice (PIN) from the Training and Simulation Systems Programme (TSSP) organisation within DE&S.
